Having paid off RE eventually cash flows quite nicely :)  Yes very wise words,I question if I'm risking too much using a HELOC.Debt increases risk AND reward.  

Getting expertise in a relevant profession, such as finance, real estate, or property management, can lead to financial stability and business contacts.

Drawing from your professional experiences, I am keen to understand how you typically support investors who encounter similar challenges.I appreciate any guidance and expertise you may offer in this regard.Thank you for your consideration.Warm regards,Tim Christian
